Default Left handed Flintlock, or side lock

How hard is it to find one in left handed? Preferably a side-lock.

Last time I was in Haglund's in Oscoda, MI they had two lefties in there for sale. I did not look them over, just seen them on the rack.

Black powder and accessories, a FB site has them come up for sale every now and again too.

Here's the FB site: https://www.facebook.com/groups/270501603101904/

There are some out there for sure. I would watch auction sites and forum classified. You might run across one for sale. otherwise you'd have to custom order a rifle.

I prefer a .54 also when reaching out beyond 75 yards hunting . But you won't likely find a . 54 leftie in stock anywhere.

The .50 is just fine for deer at 75 yards or less (OK, maybe 100 yards in perfect conditions), and for target work at any range.

The Lyman Deer Stalker used to come in LH also. Not sure if it still does.
